Hi
I saw a utube of a guy racing in GT5 with a driving force GT wheel, he was making tight bends with only a partial rotation of the wheel, mine needs be spun what feels like 360 and more to make these turns. Is there a setting for this and how do you do it? Would also like to turn down the force feedback a bit as it is far too strong for my liking, is there a way of doing this too?
I'm playing GT5 on a PS3.

TIA

That's all to do with the wheel settings mate ( which I explained for you on your other post lol )

Enjoy your DFGT , it's a great wheel.

Thanks for helping me out mate, but I'm still unsure as to where to find the options you speak of?

On the GT5 menu that you start off on when you load the game, or the menu with the OCD and UCD there is a picture of a grey gear. That is to get to the settings menu.
 
There is no way to adjust steering rotation degrees for a DFGT. What you're advising him to do is useless to him.

Thanks for the welcome mate, and for all your help also. One last Q: In the three options, two you told me but what is the other one...steering type? what does that mean?

Oh the options Amatuer / Simulation / Professional.
Dunno precisely to be honest as I just race with it on Amatuer ( Great setting though , i've won alot of races with that setup ) But I would speculate that the other settings are designed to change how your steering feels in regard to steering rotation , i.e. - how far you have to rotate the wheel in order to turn a corner.....

But I'm not sure 100% as i've never changed it. Maybe change the settings and do a test session & see if you can feel any difference perhaps ?
 
Yeah tried that.
Must agree after trialing it that the amateur setting seems to be the most forgiving..

Still struggling trying to get the car round the tightest of bends even with the wheel on what feels like full lock.
Maybe I'm trying to go too fast. Maybe I'm just a bobbins driver!

Regardless, thanks for all your help mate.

No worries mate. 👍

Those issues will all depend on the variables , such as -

The car you're driving.
The set-up of the car.
The track you're on.
The driving line you're using.
And your braking point.

Car set-up will go a long way to help , learning your braking points too.
Here's a tuning link that will teach you about setups in GT5 .......

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=204024 ( Tuning Guides )

As far as driving techniques go , I couldn't find a link , but maybe if you put a question up in GT5 Q & A's ? You might get a good response there mate. 👍

My personal DFGT technique advice would be start off with slower cars so that you will learn grip levels & braking points , turn off all assists ( Apart from ABS 1 ) , and practice that way as well , as it will give you much more feel of what the car is doing in any situation.

And as you get a handle on each differently powered car , take another one that is quicker and repeat the same process.....

I started out learning the DFGT with one of the Subura Impreza WRX premium road cars and just worked my way up from there.... 👍

And again , no problem mate.

Thanks for the advice mate, will be putting it all into practice soon. On another note...
Is there any chance of getting this wheel to work in the WRC game, NFS Underground and Outrun (my youngest Daughter loves it!)?

Anytime. :)

I've only tried it on F1 2010 & it works fine.
Just have to give it a go & see I think.
I'm sure it will be okay though.

Everyone here has pretty much answered your question, but I'd like to know how much you're needing to turn the wheel. In your OP you say that you needed to turn it almost 360°, but even through the hairpins at Eiger (the tightest turns I can think of) I don't needed to take either hand off my DFGT, even in a road car! That's, at most, about 180-200°.

Hi
Seems I had to turn a lot more than that. Am I missing something here?

Steve
 
Amateur, pro and sim settings don't have any effect on the DFGT.
You notice the DFGT picture is greyed out if you choose these options right?

And as answered before, 1. An F1 car will have a much tighter steering lock. 2. Steering lock differs depending on the car you choose.

Having said all that, I haven't noticed any car that needs to be turned quite as much as many I tried in GT5p.
